OK-DONG AND DONG-SEOK

OK-DONG AND DONG-SEOK

Looking for something?

How much for 200?

-How many?
-Two hundred.

Two hundred?

-Let me look around and come back.
-Okay. See you later.

Hey.

You bought a lot.
Did you make a ton of money?

-Do you need some?
-Yes, I do.

You know my number, right?
Text me your bank account number.

Our specialty is doenjang stew.

I don't like doenjang stew.
Kimchi stew, please.

Who doesn't like doenjang?

How would you feel
if I suddenly showed up?

Would you only be surprised?
Or would you be happy too?

SEON-A

I'd be extremely happy.





SAVE

Ma'am.

Ms. Kang.

Ms. Kang, did you eat breakfast?

Jeez. It's cold out.
Why did you leave this open?

I'm hot. Keep it open.

No, it's cold.

What is all this?

Blankets.

In-gwon bought me this last year.
Do you want it?

You can use it.

Jeez.

Why are you organizing
your blankets all of a sudden?

I made some tasty beef soup for you.

Have some broth. I'll reheat it for you.

But who are you calling?

Dong-seok.

We need to go to Mokpo
for his late stepdad's memorial service.

Are you serious?

Do you think he'd…

Is he not picking up?

INCOMING CALL



-It's clean.
-I don't want it.

I'll go heat up the soup.

EUN-HUI

Hey, Eun-hui.

Hey.

Why aren't you picking up your mom's call?

I don't have a mom.

Where are you?

Come here right now.

I'm in Seoul to buy some goods.

I was shopping until early morning.

I'm going to bed.
See you on the market day.

Your mom…

has cancer.

It's terminal.

So?

What kind of question is that?
Are you serious?

The doctor couldn't do anything.

He gave up on her.

Your mom seemed

to have given up too.

She refused the surgery.

It's too late to do anything now.

Her time is running out.

So come right now.

Don't regret this later.

I'll just regret it later.

OK-DONG AND DONG-SEOK 1

Hey, Dong-seok.

Well…

I just got off work. I'm outside.

Dong-seok.

-Hello?
-Mom.

Yeol!

Yeol!

I missed you!

-Did you miss me?
-A ton.

Me too.

He's been missing you a lot lately.

It wasn't easy to soothe him.

You must've missed me a lot.

I did.

-What should we have tonight?
-Pizza!

We can't have pizza all the time.

No pizza or fried chicken today.
We're having rice.

Did you hear your dad?

No pizza. We're having rice for dinner.

Okay.

-Hey, watch out.
-I'm sorry.

-It's okay.
-Be careful.

-Did he not cough today?
-No.

-Then who's that in that photo?
-He's my ex-boyfriend.

Then why didn't you throw it away?

Because we could get back together.

But you've already broken up.

Let's go.

Okay.

MESSAGES
IN-GWON

Hey, have you gone insane?
How can you call yourself human?

Your mother is dying,
yet you didn't even bat an eye.

What a useless and impudent b*stard.

Call her.

MESSAGES
h*-SIK

Dong-seok, where are you?
I'll come to you.

Where are you?

MESSAGES
MS. HYEON

I heard Eun-hui told you
that your mom was fighting cancer.

So why haven't you called your mom yet?

Call her.

MESSAGES
SEON-A

Why did you just leave that day?

You're not picking up either.
Call me back.

Are you dying tomorrow?

Are you?

Why would you suddenly ask Jeong-jun

to plow the field when he's busy?

You're so weird.

Answer me. Are you dying soon?

She always remains tight-lipped
and makes me frustrated.

Add more sesame seeds.

Look at you ordering me around.

Try it.

Am I your minion or something?

Of course, you are.

It's tasty. Here.

It's too bland.

-Is it?
-Yes.

This much?

-Try it again.
-I'm sure it's fine.

Can I have some?

Take some yourself.

Byeol-i, bring us some.

Here.

It's good. It's perfect.

-It's good.
-Right?

-Give me some more.
-It's tasty.

Ms. Kang, it's cold out. Go inside.

She likes the breeze.

Jong-u and Jong-cheol should've prepared
the food for their dad's memorial service.

Why do you have
to prepare everything and go there?

Plus, I'm too busy to go with you.

That's enough. We volunteered to help her.
Are you trying to take credit?

Don't do it if you're going to complain.

Let me see it again.

What?

She can't stop watching it.

She's already watched it
three times in front of us.

Pay me first.

Here.

That's too expensive.

No, it's not.

Grandma! I was right, wasn't I?

Dad's alive.

You were wrong.

I was right, wasn't I?

Dad asks if it's very windy there.

He asks if you're healthy.

He says I'm being a good girl
and I even sing well.

He wants you to buy me some toys.

Mother, the last part was a lie.

Dad drew this on me again.

UNITY

Eun-gi.

Sing. Sing for Grandma.

A chick can chirp

A calf cries moo

Are you happy?

-A hunter can sh**t…
-You've always been a good mother.

You're kindhearted.
That's why you're blessed.

Should I replay the video?
I won't charge you this time.

A chick can chirp…

Hey, why did you ignore my text?

Because it wasn't worth my attention.

ABANG SUNDAE

Follow me.

BANG FAMILY ICE

PUREUNG

CLOSED
IN PREPARATION

I'm not drinking. I need to drive.

Are you serious?

Just drink it.

I said, no. I don't want to.

Just say it. I'm busy.

How can you be busy?

Shouldn't tending
to your mom be the priority?

I'll drive your truck.

Why would you do that?

Say what you want to say.

Drive your mom to Mokpo.

I was going to take some time off work
and drive her there myself.

But she refused.

How can she go there by herself
when she can't even read the signs?

Drive her yourself.

Is that all?

I know how you feel.

I know you're mad.

Why would he be mad?

Why?

Why would he be mad
about his mom fighting cancer?

You should be heartbroken
and worried sick!

Do you not have a heart?
Not even an ounce of conscience?

This is about your mom. She has cancer.

And it's terminal, at that.

You should rush over to her
and ask for her forgiveness.

You should make up for the past.

What are you doing now?

You're being stubborn and not picking up.

Even we get heartbroken and teary-eyed

if we think about
what she has gone through…

You have no idea
what you're talking about.

Just like how you regretted it
after your mom died,

I'm going to do the same after mine dies.

Okay? Can I go now?

How dare you?

Damn it. I ought to give you a beating.

As if I'll let you.

You little…

-Come on.
-Come at me.

Why are you taking off your clothes?

-We didn't come here to fight!
-Sit down.

Jeez, this is infuriating.

Dong-seok.

Do you think we're doing this
because we don't understand you?

After your sister and my friend,
Dong-i, passed away,

your mom remarried
and moved into another man's house

less than a month afterward.
And I was truly upset.

I couldn't understand her.

I'm sure you were
much more upset than I was.

I never told you this before.

But I cried

day in, day out
because I felt sorry for you.

But Dong-seok.

Your mom…

She can't eat anymore.

And she throws up blood.

I understand that you're mad.

But what can you do, now that she's sick?

Just give in.

Do as she asks. Take her to Mokpo.

And once she passes away,

you can put an end
to your ill-fated relationship.

We'll help out with her funeral.

I can't give in.

I won't.

I'm not going to Mokpo.

Dong-seok, I empathize with you.

I truly understand how you feel.

If we don't understand you, then who will?

I swear I completely understand you.

-But--
-Don't say that.

Just say you don't understand me at all.

Do you know what I hate hearing the most?

Hearing that people understand me.

You know nothing.

Have you ever seen your mom

and your dad's friend,
who's also your friend's dad,

go into the same bedroom together,

turn off the lights,

and sleep together?

No, you haven't.
So what do you understand?

Yeong-ok, give us bigger glasses.

Do you know why
I've never considered getting married

to the women I dated so far?

My mom…

I mean, because I was afraid that
they'd turn out to be like Ms. Kang.

It doesn't matter how great they are.

I feel disgusted if they resemble
my mom even in the slightest.

You don't know what she did to me.

You understand me? No, you don't.

You don't f*cking know anything.
You're just pissing me off.

There must be something between them
that we're not aware of.

You've done enough. You should let it go.

All right.

Eun-hui.

Let's give up.

It's not our business.

Let's just drink.

Shouldn't we be picking members
for the athletic meet next month?

Shut up.

Okay.

Dong-seok.

Let's drive along the coastal road.

I just learned that my mom
who I despise has cancer.

And I feel weird.

I'm neither sad…

nor jumping

for joy.

The anger is slowly creeping up on me.

I feel like sh*t.

Let's go.

Bye.

Go home.

Okay.

SEON-A

Hey, it's me.

You finally picked up.

I was worried you wouldn't pick up again.

Dong-seok.

My mom has cancer.

It's terminal.

But I'm fine.

Part of me thinks
that it's finally over between us.

I feel relieved too.

But she wants me

to go to my stepfather's…

She wants me to attend
her second husband's memorial service.

She knows I'd obviously hate it.
It's as if she's picking a fight with me.

Must I go?

I'm not sure.

My friends all say that I should.

They said I'd be a heartless b*stard

if I didn't grant her dying wish.

But I don't want to go.

Then don't.

My father died while sailing.

Then my sister died
three years later while harvesting.

My mom was all I had.

Do you know what the first thing
she said to me was

before moving in with her second husband?

"I'm no longer

your mom. I'll be your aunt."

"Jong-u and Jong-cheol's mom
is your new mom."

So I said,

"No."

"You're my mom."

"Why would I call

their mom mine?"

After I said that,

she stared at me for a while.

Then she slapped me.

Not once or twice. But dozens of times.

Until my mouth started to bleed.

She slapped her own son
who was weaker than others.

She beat me.

And from that day on,
I was a very obedient kid.

I didn't call her Mom anymore.

Even to this day,
I treat her like an aunt.

I never told about this to anyone before.

Had you been by my side,

I would've hugged you.

One time,

I stole money and valuables
from their house and said this to her.

"Let's go to Seoul together.
Let's get out of here."

"This is compensation for getting beaten
by Jong-u and Jong-cheol."

"So don't feel bad.
I'm not doing anything wrong."

"Let's just get out of here."

She looked at me for a while.
And do you know what she said?

She didn't cry or beg me to stay.

She didn't even hold me back.
She just said one thing.

"You filthy thief."

Do you feel sorry

for getting a divorce as a mom?

Of course, I do.

Because he was

a kid that got hurt because of us.

Then why is my mom
always so brazen in front of me?

How could she be so shameless,

telling me to drive her to Mokpo?

It wasn't a request. It was a demand.

So must I go?

Would I be a b*stard if I didn't?

-Do whatever your heart says.
-What my heart says?

In that case, I wouldn't be here.

I'd confront her this instant.

I'd say, "Why are you doing this to me?"

"Does having cancer make you entitled?
Does that give you the right

to treat me like this?"

"How could you be brazen enough

to demand me to take you to Mokpo?"

When I was getting beaten up
by Jong-u and Jong-cheol,

she just stayed still
and watched without batting an eye.

She has never treated me like a son.

So how can she expect me
to be a good son after all this damn time?

If I could do it my way,

I'd explode at her face.

I don't think that's a bad idea either.

Even to this day,

I want to confront my dad

if I could.

I just don't get
how he could commit suicide

in front of his own daughter.

I want to ask
if I really meant nothing to him.

But I can't do that

even though I want to.

Don't be like me.

Ask her while you still can.

Confront her while you can.

"Have you ever felt sorry for me?"

"Have you ever loved me?"

"Why didn't you protect me when I was
getting beaten?" Ask her everything.

Ask her all the questions
you've been having in your head.

About that b*stard…

Are you seeing Yeol's dad again?

No.

I'm not.

That day when you visited Seoul,

Tae-hun was there solely for Yeol.

I don't have feelings for him.

But I do for you.

Thank you for asking.

If you didn't,

I was going to tell you myself.

Are you really…

coming to visit me?

I was going to go this weekend.

But my mom's coming,
so I'm taking a day off next week.

Will you spend the night?

I'm planning to.

See you then.

And about your mom?

I'm hanging up. Good night.

Mom!

Mom! Let's go home!

Let's go home!

Let's not go to Jong-u and Jong-cheol's.

Let's go back home.

I'll do better!

I'll go to the mainland and make money!

I'll take care of you!

So let's just go home!

Mom…

-Mom…
-Fine. Let's see what she has to say.

I'll ask her about everything.

About why she did that.

About how she could sleep

with another man
while her son was outside.

Whether she was excited.

About how she truly felt

when watching me get beaten up
by Jong-u and Jong-cheol.

About why she hit me
when I called her "Mom".

I'm going to ask her everything.

Have some sundae soup.

-Have some.
-Have some sundae soup.

Hello.

-Have some.
-Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Do you just have one?

Hello.

We have fresh cuttlefish. Two kilograms.

It's fresh.

We have hairtail and squid.

-Hello.
-Come take a look.

-Can you give it for cheap?
-No, I can't.

Here.

Give Dong-seok a cup of coffee.

Give Dong-seok a cup of coffee.

Give him a cup of coffee.

Dong-seok!

Dong-seok!

Come here.

Have some coffee.

It's your mom's treat.

Go on. Why aren't you drinking it?

Hey, isn't it hot?

-Thank you.
-Goodbye.

Hello.

What do you want?

You only have sundae soup.

What nonsense are you spewing?

Sundae, boiled pork,
sundae soup, and sundae noodles.

We have a variety.

Give me sundae soup.

Have you quit school for good?

I'm going to take the GED later.

A guy like Hyeon deserves respect.

He treats his wife like a queen
and works to provide for their baby.

He also comes here to help his dad out.

He even works at a restaurant downtown.
He's much better than you.

I didn't say anything.

When is Yeong-ju due?

Next month.

Are you excited to be a dad?

I am.

Are you ignoring me now?

We were never that close, to begin with.

Is that so? How about you?

Just eat.

When is the memorial service?

It's tomorrow evening.

Then you'll have to board
the afternoon ship.

Are you coming too?

She's asking you a question.

Hey, he only asked
because he was going to go.

If not, why would he have asked? Right?

Were you starving to death or something?

Stop stuffing your face
and answer her question.

If you're going to go, just tell her so.

Are you trying
to sound her out or something?

Why did you stop talking midway?

Then can we take the evening flight?

Of course, you can.

Ms. Kang, take the plane this time.

Don't take the ship. It'll take too long.

She's never been on a plane before.
Board a ship.

Take the one at 2 p.m.

Let's board the morning ship.

But the memorial service
is in the evening.

Take your time and leave after lunchtime.

Why take her time if she's going anyway?

Pick her up at 4 a.m.

I'll pay for everyone.

I'll be at your place by 4 a.m.

Hey! Look at you!

-I'm so proud of you!
-Stop it.

You little brat.
Don't you know how much I adore you?

Look at you! You brat!

Well done!

Look at that.

Your wish came true.
You'll be going there together.

He finally gave in
after hearing that his mom was sick.

That little brat.

Can I have more broth?

Thank goodness!
That's the best thing I heard today!

You'll get better if you eat well.

Eating well cures all illnesses.

Here. Goodness.

Good thinking, Ok-dong. Eat up.

You need the energy
to go to Mokpo with Dong-seok.

Okay.

Where are you going?

Yeong-ju was carried
to the hospital from school!

What do you mean? Isn't it too soon?

She's due next month!

Hey, stop talking and just run! Wait up!

What?

Move!

ABANG SUNDAE

EUNHUI'S FISH MARKET

Hey.

What happened?

Tell me. What is it?

What happened, h*-sik?

Yeong-ju is in a lot of pain.

She's been having contractions
for over ten hours now.

What…

She's just…

having contractions.

Right?

That's all, right?

Yeong-ju is still healthy and well, right?

Come on!

You almost gave me
a heart attack! Seriously!

I thought something had happened to her!

I almost fainted!

My legs…

My legs gave out.

She'll be okay, right?

I hope so.

Hey. Jeez.

Are you having contractions again?

It's almost at three-minute intervals now.

Just hang in…

Yeong-ju.

Do you want to get
a C-section if it's too painful?

Let's just get a C-section. Please?

You're in too much pain.

Let's just get a C-section.

Let me check.

Please put your legs down.

The baby will come out soon.

Please take her to the delivery room!

Please take good care of her.

I beg you.
Please take good care of Yeong-ju!

Hey.

Yeong-ju…

Yeong-ju.

Please wait here.

RESTRICTED ACCESS

Will Ms. Bang's guardian come inside?

Come here.

A, B, C, D

"A."

"B."

"C."

Let's go.

Let's go.

Aren't you coming?

It's me, Dong-seok.

Are you not there?

Jeez.

-Let's go.
-Give me a minute.

I thought we were going.

Give me a minute.
The toilet was too dirty.

Are you serious?

Who am I?
Jong-u, Jong-cheol, or Dong-seok?

You have no time to clean.

You don't have dementia, right?

Throw away the bundles inside the house.

Put them in the backyard.

Leave them there,
and Eun-hui will take care of them.

What are you doing? Getting ready to die?

There's not much to throw out anyway.

The others will take care
of everything anyway.

Or give them to Ms. Hyeon.

Who would want to use

anything that was mine once I die?

Jeez.

Come on.

Jeez.

What is she doing?

Bring the bundles
that are on the wooden bench.

Jong-cheol loves seasoned dried radish
and bracken. Bring them.

Put them in the back.

Chun-hui will be coming too.

She's going to visit Man-su.

Close the door.

Do it yourself. I'm too weak.

Where are we off to? Ms. Hyeon's?

EUNHUI'S FISH MARKET

There's one more.

It has a yellow string around it.
It's dried tilefish.

You should've told me sooner to save time.

Can we just go without it?
We need to board soon.

-Bring it.
-Bring it.

There's one more.

You should've said they were two
in the first place.

Unbelievable.

Coffee.

Let's have breakfast first.

She's smiling at a dog?

If you're nervous…

I'm pretty sure
your parents won't like me.

Do everything you want.

Take it.

Then brace yourself.

I'm attending your dad's memorial service.

Don't you know
why he died of pent-up anger?

What are you being sorry for?

-Doenjang, your favorite.
-I don't eat it anymore.

Despite not doing
anything wrong to anyone,

you always act like you did.

How are you not sorry to me?

Mom.
